Milk

So, I watched it again today.
Call me a glutton for punishment.
I loved it again.
Great film.

I noticed one thing I hadn't before. It was Dan White checking out a TV crewman after the morning talk show spot that he and Milk finished up. I couldn't find any other reason for the shot and why he looked.

I really, really love the scene where he and Scott talk on the phone one last time. It hit me harder this time than last time.

I hated one moment in the film. The Cleve Jones "I'm calling one friend and he'll call another and another" moment where a gay male Mormon Brady Bunch pops up on screen. It's a weird moment that should have been cut.

I needed a good cry and this fit the bill. It's amazing how much of a tear-jerker this flick is. It was the first show of the day, half full house and everyone was blubbering like babies. Wonderful.

I didn't mind that terribly (oddly enough, when the dishware Brady Bunch shows up in Beauty and the Beast, I refuse to watch it.)

But I did mind the Jack Lira character. I presume they intended to show what an utterly frustrating pain in the ass he was, and they very much succeeded in that; I cringed so much whenever he was onscreen (and I love Diego Luna, typically, so that was a surprise.) I was so cringed out that by the time he, you know, had his last scene, I couldn't feel a lot for him.
